Chapter 170: 167. The Owner of the Song Has Arrived

On the tenth, the Zhang family arrived at Shanghai Stadium, which was already packed with people.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang." Zhang Siyan came over with several of her roommates; they had all learned a bit about Zhang Ran's situation from Zhou Min, so they were not too surprised.

"Hello, thank you all for taking care of Siyan over these years," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhang, you are too polite. We are good sisters with Siyan; there is no one taking care of anyone," Zhou Min said hurriedly.

Zhang Siyan had bought VIP tickets, so they entered quickly, and their seats were excellent, in the first few rows.

At this moment, cheers were already resounding throughout the venue, and glow sticks had long been waving; Fang Hua's popularity was undoubtedly revealed at this time.

Zhang Xiaotao and Susu, the two little ones, were seeing such a grand scene for the first time and were a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment. Taotao was fine and adapted quickly, his little face full of excitement.

Susu was a bit nervous, holding onto her grandfather's large hand and refusing to let go, so Zhang Ran had no choice but to hold her in his arms to give her some sense of security.

It was almost 7:40 when they entered, so they did not have to wait long.

Once it hit eight o'clock, the lights came on, and immediately, the sound of over eighty thousand people in the venue erupted like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.

Some people who had been calm were also stirred up at this moment, and the atmosphere of the concert reached a climax right from the start.

Zhang Ran also cheered along, but because he was holding Susu in his arms, his movements were not very large.

Since one has come to a concert, one must learn to enjoy the atmosphere within it; otherwise, how much better would it be to watch videos at home.

An hour passed just like that, but everyone's enthusiasm only grew higher, and Fang Hua also interacted with the audience from time to time.

Having just finished singing a song, Fang Hua rested for a moment and began to interact with the audience again.

Due to the sheer number of people, he could only attend to those in the front rows; as for those sitting further back, most could only rely on the big screen for lucky draws.

Fang Hua hugged a few audience members and chatted with them, and very quickly, he began to sing again.

However, this time, when Fang Hua was halfway through the song, his eyes caught a face that was somewhat unfamiliar to him, yet one he could never forget.

This left Fang Hua stunned on the spot; he had not expected to see this person at such a time.

Many in the audience also noticed Fang Hua's abnormality; although Fang Hua was still singing, the melody and emotion were clearly off.

Very quickly, the big screen also displayed Fang Hua's current state.

The voice of the on-site director came through Fang Hua's earpiece, asking him what was going on.

However, Fang Hua did not answer; he soon returned to normal and began to sing again.

After the song ended, Fang Hua could not help but call out, "Mr. Zhang?"

Seeing that person nod, Fang Hua knew he had truly not recognized the wrong person, and at the same time, he was surprised that after so many years, Zhang Ran had not changed at all.

When he wanted to walk over, he noticed Zhang Ran waving his hand at him, and Fang Hua immediately stopped his steps; he understood that Zhang Ran did not want to attract too much attention.

When Fang Hua called out "Mr. Zhang," Qian Li, Zhang Sicheng, Zhang Siyan, and Liu Lu all subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran, finding him to have a calm expression.

And when they saw Zhang Ran wave his hand toward the stage and Fang Hua actually stopped his steps, they all revealed expressions of surprise; their guess was right, this "Mr. Zhang" really was calling Zhang Ran.

Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan both revealed a trace of bewilderment; just who was this father of theirs?

If one were to talk about knowing Prince Haiman, they could say it was a coincidence; after all, Zhang Ran had briefly told them the process of how he met Prince Haiman, so they were only surprised at first and soon accepted it.

But now, discovering that Zhang Ran also knew Fang Hua—although in terms of status and position, Fang Hua was far inferior to Prince Haiman—both were still the kind of figures that, in their eyes before, were unreachable.

Knowing one could be called a coincidence and good luck, but knowing two, was it really just a coincidence?

The key was looking at Fang Hua's attitude; his treatment of Zhang Ran seemed completely different from that of Prince Haiman.

Prince Haiman treated Zhang Ran entirely as a friend, while when Fang Hua looked at Zhang Ran, there was no feeling of seeing a friend; instead, it gave one the impression that there was a trace of gratitude mixed in.

Fang Hua said a few words into his earpiece, then reorganized his emotions and looked at the audience, saying, "Sorry about just now, there was a small situation, let me explain it to everyone."

"Everyone knows that I must sing a certain song at every concert; some old fans should know a bit about it. This song was given to me by someone who can be considered my benefactor."

As he spoke, Fang Hua's face showed a look of recollection, "Many people don't know that in '88, I encountered a crisis. This crisis was truly dangerous; at that time, I almost thought I was finished."

When Fang Hua began to speak, the entire venue went quiet; eighty thousand people just listened silently to Fang Hua speaking. At this moment, Fang Hua's charisma was displayed to the fullest.

However, Fang Hua did not elaborate on what kind of crisis it was, and everyone subconsciously assumed it was a career crisis, never thinking that Fang Hua was talking about a life-threatening crisis.

"Just when I was about to despair, my benefactor appeared. He resolved the difficulty I was in at the time and also gave me a song. The name of this song is 'Today'."

"At the time, it should have been the day my benefactor officially got together with his girlfriend. He said this song was a gift for his girlfriend, and he also hoped to be able to listen to this song with his wife at my concert."

Fang Hua was clearly completely lost in his memories, so he did not pay attention to what he was saying; if it were any other time, he absolutely would not have said these things without confirming the situation.

The next moment, Fang Hua reacted and subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran, finding that Zhang Ran did not show an embarrassed expression, so he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was just that what Fang Hua did not see was that there was a trace of sadness in Zhang Ran's eyes!

"After so many years, the owner of this song has finally truly come to my concert, so now I am going to move this song up."

"Thank you for your help back then; if it weren't for you, there would be no 'today' for me!" As he spoke, Fang Hua bowed deeply!

Following Fang Hua's narration, Zhang Ran also thought of the events of that year. Back then, Fang Hua had been invited by a big shot in the mainland for a commercial performance, and in the end, because of some matters, this big shot had detained Fang Hua.

This big shot was no good person; he had many murder cases on his hands, and at the time, Fang Hua was truly in danger.

However, fortunately, by that time, Zhang Ran had already established his influence and had some fame and connections. With Zhang Ran stepping forward, this big shot released Fang Hua.

This was also the reason why Fang Hua was so grateful to Zhang Ran. He knew the situation of this mainland big shot; let alone that he had some fame at the time, in Hong Kong back then, he had seen much darker things—let alone him, even those with more fame, it would not have worked.

If Zhang Ran had not stepped forward, Fang Hua really dared not imagine what his final outcome would have been.

Of course, by now, this big shot had long since been liquidated.
